How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers are the perfect cosmetic dentistry treatment for a complete smile makeover. Porcelain veneers dramatically improve the appearance of your smile by correcting any defects that detract from your overall appearance. With this one smile makeover treatment, Los Angeles smile makeover dentist Dr. Kevin Sands can give you the beautiful smile you have always wanted.
Porcelain veneers correct many common smile problems such as:
- Discolored teeth
- Uneven teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps in teeth
Your porcelain veneers will last a lifetime if you properly care for your new smile, have good dental hygiene habits, and visit Dr. Sands for dental check-ups and cleanings.
Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers
Caring for your porcelain veneers is the same as caring for your natural teeth. Brush and floss your teeth every day, and schedule dental check-ups with Dr. Sands every six months for professional dental cleanings to remove tartar and plaque. By taking these steps toward great dental hygiene, you can ensure that your porcelain veneers last a lifetime and stay beautiful.
Are You a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
In a personal smile makeover consultation, Dr. Sands will examine your smile, listen to your goals for your smile makeover, and ask you questions about your habits. By examining your jaw, Dr. Sands can discover if your jaw is out of alignment, which can cause problems with your porcelain veneers. To help your porcelain veneers last, Dr. Sands will make sure your new smile supports a healthy, relaxed jaw position.
Dr. Sands will also want to know if you grind your teeth at night. Teeth grinding will damage your porcelain veneers and decrease their longevity. Dr. Sands will discuss other treatments for your smile makeover if you are not a candidate for porcelain veneers.
If you would like to schedule a smile makeover consultation with Dr. Sands in the Los Angeles area, please contact the cosmetic dentistry office of Kevin Sands, D.D.S. Cosmetic Dentistry.
